Adult Guinea Pig
hi guys here is the situation my 2 friends have split up she is back living with her mum who has a vicious cat and allergies and he is in a rented pad. Basically he bought her a chinchilla a few years ago and although he is happy to look after the chin he is not really inot it! i'm sure he means no malice etc but I just can't help feeling that the Chin is probably a bit neglected/left to its own devices. he feeds it and puts in the sand bath etc so tends to it's needs so not neglected/cruel as such but probably not giving it much of a life. it is a mission to let the chin out as the rotteweiler needs locking up etc and the chin is a bit of a handfull! I suggested that we could have her here as, although we have no experience, the mild obsessive way we are about our guineas would also apply to the Chin and i think we may give her more quality of life. Am I just being a bit OTT?
hubby says no because the chin's cage would probably have to live in the piggies heated shed and he thinks it is unfair as they are like 'aliens' however i pointed out that it would be no different to the chin being surrounded by humans! and it is plenty warm enough. I think both mates wouldn't dream of asking/expecting us to do this and male buddy is doing his best but I think they would both be happy at the level of care we would offer if that makes sense? Any suggestions? :{?/
